florida governor ron desantis abruptly removed a twice elected democratic prosecutor just last year. why? because he refused to go after people who seek and provide abortions or provide gender affirming care to transgender people. andrew warren sued desantis, but now a federal judge has dismissed that lawsuit, saying his action of the governor did violate the first amendment and florida's constitution, but as a federal judge, he couldn't rule against a state official based only on the violation of state law. and in the wake of that ruling today, andrew warren joins me

now. andrew, thank you for coming. i know we talked when this first actually happened. so i've been curiously following this particular suit. and the federal judge did take governor desantis to task for his handling of your suspension, but he ultimately upheld it. tell me why you think that is and what's your reaction. >> well, thanks so much for having me back, laura. as you said, the judge took the governor to task. his findings were crystal clear. the governor violated federal law, and he violated state law in suspending me. he said that the suspension had no legal basis and that i was basically being suspended as a political hit job. now, the judge did not reinstatus as we've asked, but what's interesting here is that he agreed with us on the facts. he agreed with us on the law. but he's saying as a federal judge, he doesn't have the remedy to reinstate me to office. and what's really interesting is that the judge called on the

governor to reinstate me. now, the governor has talked a lot about how he believes in the rule of law. let's see what kind of man he actually is. is he someone that means what he says when he actually -- does he actually believe in the rule of law, or is he a coward that's just going to hide behind this and not do the right thing? >> let me tell you what his reaction has been. he responded through a spokeswoman today, saying today the court upheld the governor's decision to suspend andrew warren from office for neglect of duty and incompetence. but we know that's not actually what the judge said, andrew. the opinion does not talk about incompetence. in fact, it says there was not a hint of misconduct by you and that, quote, the assertion that mr. warren neglected his duty or was incompetent is incorrect. on the one hand, i suppose you feel vindicated by the judge's statement of that. on the other hand, there is still the impression that's

being conveyed that somehow this is not based on politics and, in fact, about your job performance. because of that, do you have an intention to appeal? is there a mechanism you will pursue to try to get reinstated in some way? what can be done now? >> sure. well, there are a lot of things to unpack in there. first of all, the fact that the governor's spokesperson came out and said something that is clearly contrary to what the order says, it just shows -- i m mean they live in this alternate reality. it's an orwellian world where the judge says there's absolutely no misconduct. andrew hasn't done anything. and they say, see, exactly what we said. desomething wrong. it shows they will do anything to promote their own radical agenda. in terms of rough steps, we're evaluating that at this point. but this was never a fight just about me and my job. this was always a battle for democracy, for free speech, for the integrity of our elections,

to hold the governor accountable and to have the truth come out, and that's exactly what happened here. i mean people have seen the truth, that the governor suspended me not in the pursuit of justice but in the pursuit of politics, and he did so in violation of both the u.s. and the florida constitutions. >> and you were an elected official just so people understand that. you weren't a political appointee. you were an elected official as you mentioned the word "democracy." but there is a role that the florida senate could play, right? it could go before the florida senate, which is responsible for removin removing office holders who are suspended by the governor. but as you know, republicans have a supermajority in the florida senate. i'm wondering if you have any hope that the legislative branch might be able to assist in -- i know you say it's not just about you personally and the reinstatement, but we look to the legislature for reinstatement. >> well, that's one. that's certainly one possible avenue. i mean, again, the judge made clear that there was no

misconduct by me. i didn't do anything wrong except do exactly what i said i was going to do. i mean, look, at the end of the day, this was about me standing up for issues that i believe in. this was me being transparent to the voters who elected me. these are things that any prosecutor should do. these are things that any elected official should do. and the governor disregarded that, broke the law, both federal and state law. and so the question is where do we go next to get the remedy that we deserve, to make sure that not only am i reinstated to office but that this can't happen to anyone ever again in the state of florida. >> and part of the reason i suppose -- we talked about in the past as he was citing your suspension in part was that you had signed a letter that had pledged along with other officials that you would not seek to prosecute anyone who sought, provided, or supported an abortion. i wonder given all that's taken place right now, do you have any regrets for making that position

either known or for signing that letter? >> no, i have no regrets whatsoever. i believe that not only do i have a first amendment right to speak out about issues of public importance, but as an elected official, i have a duty to the constituents in my county to tell them who i am as a prosecutor. and they know who i am. they know what i'm going to do. and so i stood up for what i believe in. i stood up for what's right. the judge vindicated us on the facts and the law today. and we accomplished what we set out to do almost all the way. i mean, again, this was about making sure that the governor is held accountable, that people see this for what it was, a political stunt. the judge made it clear that's what it was. i'd love to be reinstated. we just have to figure out the next best step to get there. >> andrew warren, thank you for your time. nice speaking with you again. >> thank you. have a good night. here with me now, the

director of the democracy journalism and citizenship institute at syracuse university. also cnn legal analyst elliot williams is back with us now. he's a former federal prosecutor. elliot, let me begin with you here. do you agree with the judge's opinion about the first amendment having been violated here? but i wonder about the larger issue. a prosecutor that says, listen, i'm not going to be prosecuting or seeking prosecution of people who follow or seek safe harbor under a particular law or are seeking to get an abortion. some would talk about discretion that all prosecutors have, but there is a lot of criticism that's wielded against prosecutors who have been vocal about what they don't intend to do. >> sure. look, i feel like, laura, this is the second time i'm on tonight, and i feel like this is my night for talking about former colleagues of mine that are now more successful than i am because andrew and i went to law school together. let's be clear. there is nothing new about prosecutors and law enforcement

agencies setting priorities for how they're going to carry out their jobs. i worked at immigration enforcement for five years, and we would get blistering criticism that you're deciding not to prosecute or arrest people, which was just a lie and not true for the entire time i was there. it's the same thing he's running into there. now, andrew's got a bit of a problem in that, number one, florida law empowers the governor with a tremendous amount of juice that other governors don't have, and he also is running into sort of the buzz saw of a governor who appears to have national ambitions beyond the state here. but, look, this idea that prosecutors can say, i'm not going to prosecute a certain thing is not new. think about a guy with a joint in his pocket. literally there are very few prosecutors offices that actually would take the resources and time to do that, and would spend their resources on going after the guys with bricks of crack cocaine or the traffickers and so on. that's discretion. that's how law enforcement works, and it's silly what the governor has done here. but, look, as andrew touched on,

it's all politics. >> to that point, during the pandemic, there were a whole host of prosecutors who were setting their priorities and saying what they weren't going to pursue with limited police and law enforcement. and it became a conversation around so-called progressive prosecutors. and there was some demonization as a result. let me ask you, though, margaret. this was out in the public's eye before the election. >> yep. >> i mean if politics was truly his motivation as the judge seems to say and of course the former prosecutor is saying as well, there was no repercussion. he wasn't penalized for it with the voters. he won handily. >> very handily, and it has propelled him into that kind of front-runner rival to trump status of the very early 2024 race. in terms of the national political stage, ron desantis is playing for the base right now. if he were to emerge as a nominee, a gop nominee for national office, he would have a different set of calculations. he would need to appeal to some degree of the center as well as

motivate the base. these culture wars have not always proved legal successes. a couple of florida newspapers have assessed millions of dollars in legal costs to losing some of these culture wars cases, not this one, but politically have been very successful for ron desantis in his home state. and when you look at florida voter registration patterns, you see democrats losing a lot of ground over the last few election cycles in terms of newly registered voters losing ground to the middle while republicans are holding steady. so he's seeing a political climate that has been rewarding him so far in florida. i think the challenge for desantis is going to be he has really tried to model himself as a champion of free speech rights in part of his whole anti-woke stuff. but in some cases, he is not championing first amendment rights or rights of expression. he is using his powers as allowed under the law to quash those rights. and i think that is, again, on a

national stage, at some point, something he's going to have to reckon with. >> when you said those words, in his state and in florida, that becomes top of mind for so many people as we're thinking about the national stage and how this translates in other places. this is the weekend that was usually the 50th anniversary to commemorate roe v. wade being in existence, now to be the first commemoration since the dobbs on. i wonder how this translates give the patchwork of laws that are already out there from trigger laws and beyond regarding abortion. does this translate in terms of a blueprint for other prosecutors? >> i mean it very well might. you know, and it it's going to depend on every state's laws and sort of, number one, how states craft their abortion laws. but, two, you know, what does the governor or the voters of the state -- what capacity do they have to recall people and so on. what's really fascinating about this whole story is that we live in this country where we elect

prosecutors. i think 94% of the prosecutors in america are elected. but when they sort of behave in a manner in line with the voters that put them there, they sort of run into trouble. now, you see it here with andrew and the governor. you see it with, you know, prosecutors all over the country. and it's just that odd scenario where we ask these folks to run for office, but then ask them to sort of either behave in an apolitical way or just behave in a manner that the opposing party would sort of want to work with. it just didn't really make sense. >> it doesn't. i mean the idea of, you know, even with culture wars more broadly, much of culture wars are based little in fact. it's much more on the hyperbole, trying to push and pour salt into wounds that maybe are, you know, hypothetical. >> well, who decides what history is? . the victors decide what history is or the popular will. i see although this does impact a prosecutor in the administration of justice, from

desantis' perspective, this is much more about him using levers to navigate these culture wars. and don't forget this is happening, as we've been hearing and talking about earlier tonight, around the same time as this decision about the state of florida's decision about this a.p. course and how to teach black history in schools. and this is really all about who gets to decide what the truths are. >> you know what's fascinating about it? what does the word "woke" mean, right? and i bet a lot of people can't really define it. it might be one of those things like obscenity. i can't define it, but i know it when i see it. that's the legal definition of obscenity from the supreme court. what does woke even mean? all it is is something if as a governor you say it, it triggers people, they hear it, and we don't like what this prosecutor did because it's woke. it's a bit of a dog whistle in a sense. people hear it, and it speaks to many folks. >> and they capitalize, and there are ways in which to

maneuver in the political process. thank you both. stick around. we've got news tonight on a story we first brought you this very week. a judge in illinois is granting a temporary restraining order barring the enforcement of a new illinois gun law. the law bans switches that allow semiautomatic firearms to fire rounds automatically and extends the ability of courts to prevent dangerous individuals from possessing a gun through firearm restraining orders. the lawsuit argued that the ban violated the illinois state constitution. governor j.b. brpritzker now saying in a statement, quote, the protect illinois communities act takes weapons of war and mass destruction off the street while allowing law-abiding gun owners to retain their collections. i look forward to the next steps in this case and receiving the decision this case merits. there's also a proposal in san francisco to pay reparations

of $5 million to each eligible black resident, and predictably, it has sparked controversy. b we've got an in-depth conversation about that next. st? it's the modern way to transform fragrance infused with natural essential oils into a mist. air wick essential mist. connect to nature. buried in receipts, invoices and other paperwork that's preventing you from doing what matters most? then get the all new epson rapidreceipt smart organizer to scan, digitize and organize your documents and receipts. receipts go in, and stress goes away. it's the only solution on the market specifically designed to extract and digitize key data trapped on receipts and invoices. and it integrates with financial software like quickbooks and turbotax. transform paper documents like contracts, tax records, warranties, wills, even recipes into searchable pdfs. so the information is always right at your fingertips, safe and

i'm very interested in this topic and both of your positions. let me begin with you, cheryl, here because i'm interested in how the committee actually got to this recommendation and the number in particular. >> yes. thank you. i would say the process with the committee has been over a year in the making. it has been informed both by a community process that's community-informed, community-led. i think there are several factors that came into play. one is first and foremost black folks in san francisco who were displace, whether through eminent domain or through gentrification. some people got nothing from their homes, and some people got -- there's homes that are now worth millions of dollars. so the lump sum is just a small fraction. it's not meant to address all of the harm, but it's a starting point that they have talked about, that they have been

committed to, and that we've heard from community members, a lot of whom feel like that's not enough. so that process is informed by cost of living, by homeownership, by a lot of different things over the last year that they've looked into. >> and that number in particular, as you can imagine, people have reacted to it. they've seen a little bit of sticker shock. you're smiling because you've heard it yourself. this has been a topic of concern for people and a question, and i want to turn to you, john, on this because you say this is a serious issue, reparations, broadly but that the number and the way that this has gone about is being handled in an unserious way. can you explain a little bit about why you feel that way? >> well, sure. i mean if you look at the people who are on the commission, i didn't look into everyone's background. there were a number of people. they all seem to come from a particular political persuasion. i notice there were no lawyers on the committee, which might

have added a sobering note. i think everyone wants to make sure that if there are gri grievances against the government that they get addressed properly. but it seems like the effort of the committee was a foregone conclusion. it was just a question of which number to which they would arrive. and it's interesting in the report that there's no formula provided as to how they got to the $5 million. i'd like to note as well it's not just $5 million. there's also a provision in there, a suggestion in the proposal, that says that every black african american in san francisco who is eligible would get $97,000 a year for 250 years. i don't know how that came about or who suggested that, but that just seems odd. and the total price tag, the city of san francisco's budget is about $14 billion, and it's a big spending city. we're talking about $50 billion

is the total cost of this package. >> i want you to address that, sheryl because do you believe that it was? did you approach this and the commission obviously whose job it was too look at this as a foregone conclusion? it seems to me you described a number of factors that went into figuring out how to get to this result in the end. what's your reaction? >> i think there are a couple of things to point out. first and foremost, that the committee itself is meant to be made up of community members with lived experience that have been disproportionately impacted. the idea notion that the money would come from only the city and county of san francisco is not the assumption of the committee. i think that this idea of like where the money would come from is also still in conversation. there's also an ordinance in san francisco, the slavery disclosure ordinance, which was created in 2006, which was focused on understanding the

institutions that gained money off of the slave trade and that they are supposed to disclose, and then they have the ability to contribute to a fund that was set up to support things like this. additionally, the $97,000 a year is not for all eligible in terms of every black person in san francisco. it's focused on folks from low income. it is a very specific carve-out. but i would say overall it's a package that folks were thinking about, like how do we talk about the systems piece, the programmatic pieces. $5 million is a lump sum. it's no in the budget yet. it's not meant to be totally taken on by the city. and it still has to go through the next draft. it still has to be presented to the board of supervisors. the mayor has not included this in her budget. it hasn't been vetted by the board. it hasn't gone to the city attorney, who would inform the city and county of what their opportunities are, what they can do. so there's a lot more to go before we do this. this is community members saying

what they think should happen based on the research that's been done. and the document is 80 pages. >> it is important that you acknowledge the idea and inform all of us who is on the committee and the purpose. i just want to clarify one point. so is the money intended as possibly an option to come from the private sector, you're saying, or those who may have benefited historically from the slave trade? you're in a place like northern california. people automatically think about silicon valley. they think about the technology industry. obviously far more novel than those that would have been thriving in 1619 and beyond. is that where it would be coming from, the private sector? >> i think that's part of the conversation that the committee wants to continue having. i think that's part of what the board of supervisors would have to do. but the slavery disclosure ordinance has wells fargo saying they benefited.

that was their affidavit that they submitted. bank of america saying they made money off of the slave trade. those are things that since 2006, the city and county is trying to look at and understand what financial institutions, what insurance companies, who are the folks that have been able to benefit and prosper off of this, and perhaps that's something the committee could look at. >> john, it sounds like this is very much a work in progress and a conversation in the making, that it relies on a number of stakeholders. does that change your perception of where things stand right now? >> no, i'm afraid not because the report is terribly muddled. it largely focuses on redlining in san francisco, which was san francisco city policy, which is one issue. but for some reason, one of the potential qualifications is if someone was descended of slaves. well, california entered the union in 1850 as a free state. so what would slavery have to do with it? another qualification, potential qualification for eligibility, is that someone would have to

have suffered from the, quote, unquote, failed war on drugs, which was federal policy. so i'm wondering why those are being brought in as eligibility prospects. i also have to say that if you're going to start talking about redlining, what do we do for the chinese community and the asian communities who were impacted by policies in san francisco? the chinese community was forbidden to live in san francisco many years. and last year the board of supervisors just simply issued an apology to them in february of 2022. so i think there are lots of aggrieved people. we should address those issues. but this, i'm terribly sorry to say, is just not a serious approach to this prospect. and despite that, i think it actually could pass. if this goes in front of the board of supervisors, i suspect that they have the votes. >> sheryl, can you address that idea? it sounds like john is saying, at least in part -- and obviously you can speak for yourself. but it sounds in part the idea that if multiple groups have grievance, then perhaps we focus

on the collective. but it also sounds like if $5 million is too much or this budget is insurmountable, then it would seem as though none would benefit. and there are, as you well know historically, there have been types of reparations or provisions for certain groups in america who have suffered at the hands of the federal government and state and localities as well. what is your reaction to the idea of the possibility that this could pass given that there's not yet the budgetary numbers in place to implement it? >> there are a few things that come to mind for me. first and foremost, just having the conversation and having it pass, i think is monumental, especially for a place like san francisco or california. to be able to own and recognize california was not a slave state, but they did have rules to return slaves, right? so to have these conversations, to drill down, to go a little bit deeper. i think the other piece is as we've talked about another aggrieved groups, we understand that we still are bound by prop

209, which precludes us from having these conversations around race. and in san francisco, over 10,000 residents were displaced in san francisco because of redevelopment. and over 80% of those folks were black. so if we were to focus on that, we wouldn't exclude other groups. we would be able to say, though, that we know that it was disproportionately black. so as we've had these conversations, we have allies that are in other communities, other cultural groups that are saying, if we make this happen, it can hopefully inform what we do for other groups as well. so it's not necessarily as limited and narrow as folks may think. it actually is very informative, and i think the board passing it, they would then also work on how to cover the cost of this. no one is suggesting that the city go bankrupt to do this, and no one is saying that the burden is solely on the city and county of san francisco. >> i mean, john, in a bureaucracy, it wouldn't be the first time, right, that you had an acknowledgement and

recognition of a particular policy position and figured out the rest later. how often do we hear about that on capitol hill? but what's your reaction? >> well, i just think that, again, i feel like the process was just very poorly done. frankly this should be adjudicated in the laws. i'm not a lawyer, but that seems to be the appropriate venue for this kind of thing. this is sort of a societal problem that we're facing right now. it feels like in many circumstances that these sorts of policies, not just this one but other ones, are sort of jamming down on a very political and tribal level. and when things like this are not done properly, it creates acrimony and a bitterness that just lingers, and it doesn't resolve anything. so i would suggest that if people want to take a serious stab at this, that they should take a different tack, take a look at what the actual issues are, what the economic impact was and the opportunity costs, and then address it from that manner in a fair way.

this, i'm afraid, is just not that approach. >> i'm glad to have both of you on to be able to converse about this important issue and to have learned, sheryl, more about the process that seemed to consider in a holistic way the different avenues you were talking about but recognize it was not the end of the conversation. sounds like it was intended to spark one and a meaningful one and a continuation of many happening around this country. and we're going to continue it here. thank you so much for both of you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we're going to be right back.

well, new tonight, the "rust" movie is still on track for completion. that's what an attorney for the "rust" production is telling cnn. and actor alec baldwin will still star in the lead role. that after new mexico's d.a. announced that she will charge the actor with involuntary manslaughter after the fatal shooting on-set of cinematographer hal ena hutchins. the film will include on set safety supervisor and union crew members and will bar any use of working weapons or any ammunition. alec baldwin was seen out today in new york but refusing to answer questions.

i want to bring in someone who has intimate knowledge of the d.a.'s decision. his name is brian carpenter, and he is an armorer and trainer and serves in an expert advisory role in the "rust" investigation. brian, thank you for being here this evening. i must say some are really shocked to find that it will still go on. the show must go on apparently is the phrase to use here. but there are new safety precautions obviously in light of what has happened and the tragedy that is just unthinkable for the loved ones and family of ms. hutchins. you were actually brought in on this back in, i think, november. and how have you helped in the investigation, and what did you advise the d.a.? >> well, the first thing was trying to get everyone to understand, you know, how an active set works. you know, the dynamics of how the unions and non-unions -- the unions and then non-union shows

operate, the specific roles of each individual member on a cast and a crew, and very specifically the role of an armorer, an actor, a producer, prop master, first a.d. on a set. >> and how did you advise the d.a. in terms of -- was there questions asked to you about who you think was responsible, who ought to have been responsible to have a duty of care to what ammunition was present on the set or how it was entered into a gun? >> yes. that was drilled down on very, very specifically throughout the entire investigation. obviously the investigation is continuing on. they did and continue to do an excellent job, as i said previously, a very unbiased, very thorough investigation starting from the beginning, working their way through interviews, all of the evidence that was collected, and it was a vast amount of it. but, yes, as we started talking about different roles and

responsibilities, specifically on a movie set when you're handling a weapon, it is protocol in place. like you said previously as you were opening, the idea that they said they were going to continue on and safety guidelines, those safety guidelines and protocols are already there, and they're already thoroughly documented and followed on almost all shows, especially shows that, you know, want to make sure that the safety and care of the cast and crew is paramount. >> is it your impression that the protocols -- obviously we know what has happened, but was it your impression from the review that there is a singular or some group of people in particular who did not follow the protocol, who ought to be held responsible if it were a different set? >> unfortunately, yes, and i have empathy for everyone. you know, i looked at this from a standpoint of my experiences on-set. i know the difficulties that one

faces as a crew member, especially in modern filmmaking. it's been a trend over the last, you know, i would say especially over the last six or seven years to push crew members, cast, crew, and the production itself to make the film faster and for less money because that equates to money on the back end for certain persons that are involved in it -- studio, anybody in the waterfall of the film. so having said that, when you start cutting corners and trying to save money, unfortunately that money seems to always be saved in the wrong places, such as stunts, special effects, firearms, et cetera. and that creates a dangerous situation. now, directly to your point and your question, when you have a chain of custody with that weapon, if you want to use that term, and you have people handling the weapon that have a duty of responsibility when they're handling the weapon and

an armorer who has a duty of responsibility to make sure that weapon is presented properly, is safe, is functional, is there at all times when it's being used, then you start seeing a very evident group of people that either intentionally disregarded or carelessly disregarded safety. >> well, there's still a lot to learn. we've heard from the d.a. now it's time for what will take place now and the evidence that may be a part of the trial. bryan carpenter, thank you for your expertise this evening. >> thank you very much. >> we'll be right back. . nothing kills more viruses on more surfaces than lysol disinfectant spray. ♪ hi, i'm lauren, i lost 67 pounds in 12 months on golo. golo and the release has been phenomenal in my life.
